In the midst of the gaze of the whole house, a white-faced old man in a dark eunuch uniform walked into the room, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes were full of arrogance.

Ignoring more than ninety-nine percent of the people present, the white-faced eunuch looked condescendingly at the prefect on the throne: "Lord Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The prefect calmly bowed his hand: "Father-in-law Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Gonggong Liu nodded, his eyes wandered around the hall, and he looked at the superiority of the people in the city to see the countrymen: "Which one is Ning Caichen, Lord Ning?"

Ning Caichen arched his hand and said, "I've seen Gonggong Liu." ”

"Young man is heroic!" Liu Gonggong said with a smile: "The Holy Lord heard that you led people to eradicate the White Lotus rudder, Long Yan Dayue, I wanted to give you the position of viscount, ten thousand taels of silver." Later, when I saw the handwriting of the Yang Governor's Mansion, I learned that you were not interested in fame and fortune, which was really commendable, so I issued an order to the Cabinet, notified the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and promoted the Lord to the three-grade imperial envoy and the official of the Imperial Envoy, according to the inspection of the first house. Lord Ning, you can really be described as a carp jumping over the dragon gate and ascending to the sky in one step. ”

Ning Caichen smiled deeply, and between nodding, he secretly said: "My father-in-law came from thousands of miles away, and he was tired of traveling. Xia Guan was fortunate to have a good teacher and was given a number of pills. After going out for a while, there should be a generous gift. ”

When Gonggong Liu heard this, he was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed. No one understands better than him that the promotion of Ning Caichen by the Holy Lord is not only because of the white lotus rudder, but also because of Haoran righteousness, Confucian orthodoxy, and the school that is beyond the world, but protects all people.

The academy is noble, sacred, inviolable, side by side with the emperor, or even at a higher level. Because of this, his Liu Shen's eyes are higher than the sky, even if he is not fake to the prefect of Yang Mountain, he is happy because of Ning Caichen's envelope.

Of course, in this, the elixir produced by the school also accounts for a large part of the factor.

"Our family has been running all the way, although we are not tired, but we are a little tired after all. Make a decree now. Gonggong Liu said, taking out a yellow roll from his cuffs.

"Long live my emperor. Everyone bowed down respectfully, knelt on the ground, and touched their foreheads to show respect for the emperor. Because of this, except for Liu Shen, no one found that among them, there was a person squatting. That's right, not kneeling, it's squatting.

Liu Shen frowned slightly, and displeasure just rose in his heart, but there was a familiar voice in his ears: "Father-in-law Liu atoned for his sins, and the family teacher warned me that no one should kneel except for the ancestors." The teacher's order cannot be violated, and I hope that my father-in-law will turn a blind eye and double the generous gift afterwards. ”

What kind of teacher, what admonition, what kind of teacher's life, Liu Shen doesn't care at all, what he cares about is doubling the generous gifts?

With these words, the little dislike in his heart immediately disappeared, and he sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a person in the school, and he needs a proud bone." ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Jinhua Ning Caichen, Yunwen Yunwu, a talent for a while. Less ambition, for the country and the people, eradicating the rebellion of the White Lotus, the merit in the Daming Society, then, promoted to the three-grade imperial history official, according to the inspection of a house. Wangqing has blood to repay the monarch...... Lord Ning, take the order. ”

Ning Caichen stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, and stood up before everyone could raise their heads: "Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's grace." ”

Liu Shen thought about the elixir in his heart, and there seemed to be a hundred cat's paws in his heart that kept scratching and scratching: "After the decree is announced, our family should also return to Beijing, can Lord Ning send me off?"

After the two left, the room was like a pool of stagnant water, and no one spoke for a long time. What you think in your heart and what you say in your mouth is the same thing, but when this thing really happens in front of you, many people find that they can't be calm. For example, Zhang Rang, whose face is pale and his lips tremble.

"I regret it a little. The prefect looked at the sky outside the door and whispered.

Everyone present knew what he regretted, and most of them were speechless, only the faction close to the Ning family, laughing silently.

"The Cabinet Ambassador arrived. Not long after the angel left, the roll call sounded again at the door. Everyone glanced at each other, and it was clear that the protagonist this time was Yang Shan.

"The Son of Heaven is above, the cabinet is decided, Yang Shan, the prefect of Jinhua, together with the official Ning Caichen, exterminated the White Lotus rudder, and made great contributions, and specially recruited as a bachelor of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Cabinet, and the position of the government was handed over and he took office immediately. Moments later, when the ambassador finished reading the edict, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room had suddenly become strange.

Countless gazes collided and annihilated in mid-air. Some rejoice, some grieve, and some even tremble. And in the rejoicing crowd, the prefect was not included.

Seeing such a situation, the ambassador's face instantly became gloomy: "Lord Yang, what's the problem?"

Yang Shan took a deep breath, glanced at Luo Yinghao, who had the corners of his mouth hooked, and then looked at Dong Teng, whose face was ugly, and said secretly in his heart: "That's it, that's it, it's better to get out of this mud, so as not to burn yourself in the future." Ning Caichen has risen up, and he cannot be an enemy in the future. ”

"I don't have any opinions. After thinking clearly, Yang Shan took the edict with a smile: "When the new prefect arrives and hands over the official seal, the official will immediately set off for Beijing." ”

The cabinet ambassador's face looked better, and he said with a smile: "Your Zhejiang Yimai is really a big outbreak this year, and there is a third-grade imperial envoy and a fourth-grade bachelor all of a sudden." In the future, if he meets the Holy Family, the position of the Imperial Envoy Zhongcheng and the Cabinet Scholar may not be unexpected. ”

Hearing this, Yang Shan's heart moved, and he formalized the idea of improving relations with Ning Caichen. Official-to-official, or, to put it bluntly, between his dealings with others, only look at interests.

At the beginning, Ning Caichen was a junior, he didn't care much, and he didn't even hesitate to give him a chance. A few moments ago, he felt that Ning Caichen might threaten him, and immediately relentlessly, not only instigating the other party to send him to death, but also targeting him in various ways.

And now, the two of them have become the cabinet one by one, and the other has become the imperial envoy of the three products, there is no struggle between interests, and they belong to the same line of Zhejiang, and they can help each other inside and outside the court, so an alliance should be the best ending.

With two Dragon Tiger Pills, four Yuan Qi Pills, four Shangqing Pills, four Rejuvenation Pills, and thirty-six Chalcedony Pills as generous gifts, he sent away Liu Shen who was smiling, and Ning Caichen just came to the door of the room, and walked opposite to an official with a very thick scholarly volume.

"Hello. Ning Caichen didn't know who he was, but looking at his age and feeling the bookish spirit on the other party, he felt that he deserved his respect.

The cabinet ambassador looked at Ning Caichen in an interesting way, and said, "I don't want fame and fortune, and the young man has the people in mind...... You're good. ”

Ning Caichen smiled, pampered and not surprised, and turned his body slightly sideways, letting the other party go first. Greeting each other is salutation, but he will not compliment or deliberately interact with each other, there is no match or unworthiness, just because he doesn't want to.

He doesn't want to, so he won't do it, and within the scope of what he can bear, he wants to live as freely and as he likes.
